Caregiver absenteeism costs the U.S. economy an estimated $25.2 billion in lost productivity - and most companies don't know it. Here's how to get help.
The Employee Caregiving Crisis_How Your Company Can Respond
1. Employee caretaking
responsibility is a
growing crisis that hurts
corporate profitability.
And most companies don’t
know it.*
How to get help.
*Harvard Business School, The Caring Company:
How Employers Can Cut Costs AndBoost Productivity By Helping Employees Manage
Caregiving Needs, https://www.hbs.edu/managing-the-future-of-work/research/Pages/the-
caring-company.aspx
2. The current population growth of persons
aged 65 and older, driven by the baby boom
generation, is unprecedented in U.S.
history.*
This surge of seniors creates caregiving
responsibilities for employees of all ages, including
millennials.**
*PRB fact sheet, Aging in the United States, https://www.prb.org/aging-unitedstates-fact-sheet/
** PBS.org, Why more millennials are becoming caregivers, https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/why-more-
millennials-are-becoming-caregivers
3. As the demand for
caregiving
increases, families
and employers
experience
situations most
people are not
equipped to
manage.
As people live longer, they need extra support
for daily activities such as transportation,
meal preparation, medication management,
bathing, grooming and more.
Specialized care is needed for those living
with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
That population is predicted double by 2050.*

aging-dementia-trends/
4. While only 24% of
employers believe
that caregiving
affects worker
performance, more
than 80% of
employees say
caregiving
responsibilities
negatively affect their
work.
In fact, nearly one-third of
employees have left work
to take care of daily living
needs for senior family
members.*

~I can't thank you enough for
all your help. It would have
taken me a month or more to
accomplish what we did in a
day. I really value your
expertise.

6. Instead of asking
friends or searching
online databases,
your employees work
directly with one
experienced source,
eliminating
interruptive phone
calls, emails and
false leads.
We do all the legwork
and never share
personal contact
information.
We conduct a
personal
assessment
with each
family,
identifying
each senior’s
budget,
location, care
needs, goals
and
personality.
Based on the
assessment, we
recommend
communities
that may be a
fit.
We know that
all care settings
are not the
same and do
behind-the-
scenes
research,
including
quality checks
and personal
inspections.
We schedule
tours, go with
the employee
and help
negotiate
prices when
possible.
We check back
after the move,
making sure
things are
going well and
helping when
needed.
7. Our service
complements your
existing EAP, at no
cost to you or your
employees.
Like a real estate agent, we
are compensated by a
community when a new
resident moves in.
~One of the best in the
business.
